Quote for the Day: March 27th, 2024

There ain’t no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.

Kate DiCamillo, Because of Winn-Dixie

Because of Winn-Dixie is one of my favorite books of all time, and I recently rewatched the movie with my parents. My mom had been wanting to rewatch it for some time, and it was so nice to revisit it. I also have to say that it didn’t hit me the first dozen times watching it that it has one of the most stacked casts of any non-Oscar baity movie I’ve ever seen. Eva Marie Saint? Cicely Tyson? Jeff Daniels? Dave Matthews? And that’s not even including two of the younger cast members, AnnaSophia Robb and Elle Fanning. If you’ve never seen the movie or read the book, there’s no better time than right now.

Street Haunting and Other Essays by Virginia Woolf and Stuart N. Clarke (Editor)

Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us. Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.

Virginia Woolf and Stuart N. Clarke (Editor), Street Haunting and Other Essays
